Amsterdam, Netherlands.-based Presbia plc, an ophthalmic device company, has introduced a new, disposable inserter for the Presbia Flexivue Microlens. The company made the announcement at the Australasian Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (AUSCRS) held October 7th through the 10th in Noosa, Queensland, Australia.
The device is a proprietary optical lens implant for treating presbyopia, the age-related loss of near-vision. With its simplified action, the new inserter further reduces the time required to complete the Presbia Flexivue Microlens procedure, allowing surgeons to safely complete more procedures per hour of surgery time.
The disposable inserter meets the requests of many surgeons and their staffs to have single-use instruments in their clinics to minimize the risk of patient infection. The disposable inserter compliments Presbia’s reusable inserter, widely-used today, offering surgeons an option to select the instrument that best suits their needs.
“Our goal is to provide surgeons with the best surgical solution to address the loss of near-vision, while providing the most efficient and safest tools for lens insertion,” said Todd Cooper, president and CEO of Presbia. “We are pleased to be making this announcement at AUSCRS as Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea are integral parts of our commercialization expansion strategy.”
